What is a Canadian certified pedorthist?
As orthoses and footwear experts, Canadian Certified Pedorthists work with prescribing healthcare providers to alleviate painful or debilitating conditions resulting from abnormalities or limited actions of the lower limb. As one of the few healthcare professionals educated in the assessment, design, fit manufacture, and modification of footwear and foot orthoses, Canadian Certified Pedorthists are regularly called upon to fill prescriptions and make recommendations regarding appropriate foot care management.
